Removing automatically assigned control aliases

In versions of NWare prior to 1.7.0b, all generic controls in a project were assigned alias names automatically when the project was deployed or emulated. This meant that when control aliases from a large project were listed out using a protocol like RATC, there could be hundreds of returned values.

You can use a feature in NWare to remove all the automatically assigned aliases (starting with X or ~) from the entire project. Only aliases you have assigned manually to controls will be retained.

Note: There is no way to retrieve these aliases once removed.
